Displaced Gazans face health crisis due to wastewater flooding their tents

Displaced Palestinians living in tents have been facing serious health problems due to wastewater in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip. The destruction of infrastructure caused by Israeli attacks has caused the spread of wastewater around the tents and allowed illnesses, especially skin diseases among both adults and children, to be transmitted.
